21 September 2021 "Her home is here, in Israel, Judaism. This is what she knows. This is her life. Eitan's life in Israel is a great celebration, if they (paternal uncles Biran, ed) want to take part, they are all invited ". Thus expressed Ether (Etty) Peleg, the maternal grandmother of Eitan, the little survivor of the Mottarone massacre and brought to Israel by his maternal grandfather Shmuel Peleg, interviewed by the Israeli TV Channel 13 News.



At the same time, the woman reiterated: "It was not a kidnapping". "One day he'll google and I'll say, 'Eitan, you are the center of our world. Your parents are buried here, your brother too. Your whole family is here. You were born here, you were scheduled to come back here. This is the war that grandfather, grandmother and your uncles waged for you to be here, "he added. The maternal grandmother tells how little Eitan, brought back to Israel by his maternal grandfather, taking him away from his paternal aunt Aya to whom he was entrusted, is currently "happy, he is so happy .... we are all here for Eitan, this is what counts".



Paternal uncles, we trust the judges, it was

kidnapping

"We look forward to the hearing and we trust the judges and that they will decide on the basis of the Hague Convention" on the international abduction of minors. So the paternal uncles of Eitan, Or and Aya, who is also his legal guardian, are experiencing, as reported by Ansa, the wait for Thursday's hearing in Tel Aviv, set after the request of the aunt who has requested the immediate return to Italy of the 6-year-old child. Or may be present with Aya at the hearing. The maternal grandmother Etty and also the maternal aunt Gali, who also asked to be able to adopt the child in Israel, continue to repeat in the various interviews released in these days and hours that the child must remain "in Israel, as a Jew, in an Israeli school and in an Israeli environment ".



The paternal uncles do not want to fuel this fight "on the skin of the child". A child, repeat his paternal uncles, who has already suffered "trauma and a very serious tragedy" in his short life and who must only be "treated and followed in the best possible way". Aya has had the opportunity to speak with the child these days on the phone and with video calls and also Or should be able to be present at the hearing on Thursday. On the religious contrast that has arisen around the child's education, both the paternal uncles and some friends of the family have repeatedly told that the same parents of Eitan (who died in May in the cable car disaster together with the brother and great-grandparents of the child ) already in January 2020 they had decided to enroll the child in the Catholic school in Pavia,where last Monday he should have started elementary school. 



Cable car tragedy, investigations on the

broken rope

continue Investigations continue to shed light on the causes, and any responsibility for the crash that cost the lives of 24 people on 23 May last. The experts appointed by the investigating judge of Verbania Elena Ceriotti and the partisan consultants met today at the intermediate station of the Alpino to photograph the two segments of the hauling cable, the cable of the cabin that fell on May 23, causing the death of fourteen people and the wounding of Eitan, now at the center of the family dispute for custody. There are hundreds of images taken of the two segments of the rope, about 15 meters each, taken last week, one of which next week will be subjected to the appropriate analysis with the electron microscope.



The aim remains to establish why the rope, made up of 114 steel wires, broke. A very rare circumstance which, for this very reason, arouses even more interest and is fundamental to ascertain all the responsibilities, in addition to that of those who fixed the 'forks' on the brakes to disable them, which caused cabin n. 3. Tomorrow, however, the lawyers of the 53 offended parties and of the persons and companies under investigation meet in the Prosecutor's Office, in Verbania, to be able to make copies of the documents seized by the carabinieri. Finally, for next Tuesday, the hearing at the Turin Review Court for the appeal advanced by the prosecutor of Verbania Olimpia Bossi is scheduled. A'application to obtain the reform of the decision of the investigating judge on the three stops decided two days after the Mottarone disaster.
